CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Chris Lykes sank the front end of a one-and-one with three seconds left, and the Miami Hurricanes won their second thriller this week, beating Virginia Tech 69-68 Saturday.
Miami overcame a 12-point first-half deficit and regrouped after going more than seven minutes without a basket down the stretch to squander a nine-point lead.
It was the Hurricanes' biggest heart-stopper since Tuesday, when they won at No. 9 North Carolina on Ja'Quan Newton's desperation buzzer-beater.
The Hurricanes (22-8, 11-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) take a four-game winning streak into the league tournament next week.
